Move over, Bey and Jay. There’s a new hip-hip couple in town, and they have an announcement to make — a baby announcement.
Performed by new parents, Jalene and Lincoln Taylor of North Salt Lake City, Utah, “Taylor Baby” has taken the Internet by storm. According to TODAY Moms, the couple got the idea from the satirical “Swagger Wagon” music video made by Toyota to promote the Toyota Sienna.
The goal of the video wasn’t an amazing performance, Jalene told TODAY. They just wanted to make friends and family laugh. With sweet rhymes like “Whether it’s a sweet baby girl or cute baby boy, gotta bun in the oven and we’re overjoyed” over a sick beat, we have to say: mission accomplished.

A group of Colorado moms took an eye-catching approach to protesting Colorado’s current air quality regulations this week when they showed up at Gov. John Hickenlooper’s (D) office with Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, which they’ve renamed “gas patch kids” to represent real children living in areas impacted by the surge of oil and gas drilling in the state.
The Colorado Moms Know Best group showed up with a petition signed by over 8,000 Colorado moms. It called for Hickenloooper to implement “common sense yet innovative standards to control oil and gas emissions, which can harm kids’ health,” according to a statement from the group.
“We were shocked and angry when learned that after almost a year of meetings, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment is recommending air pollution rules that are weaker instead of stronger,” Jaime Travis of Colorado Moms Know Best said in a statement. “The bottom line is that moms are counting on Gov. Hickenlooper to protect the health of our kids.”

Joining Demme and “Philadelphia” screenwriter Ron Nyswaner at “Philadelphia Twenty Years Later: Narrative and the Epidemic” on Nov. 12 will be Dr. Michael Gottlieb. The renowned AIDS researcher/philanthropist was one of the first physicians to identify the immunologic condition which became known as HIV/AIDS, and served as Rock Hudson’s doctor after the legendary actor was diagnosed as being HIV-positive.
Gottlieb, whose work during the early years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic is chronicled in And The Band Played On, told The Huffington Post in an email that Demme’s Oscar-winning movie “still reflects the reality in the corporate American workplace” even though two decades have passed since its release.
